    Boots 50% off sales normally starts boxing day. 75% off is 2/3 weeks later.
  • I read somewhere (may have been HUKD?) that the 50% sale would start before xmas, and 75% on boxing day. This would be a lot earlier than last year if true!

    The online sale began before Christmas last year - but not until it was too late to order for Christmas delivery/
  • I phoned up .com and asked the adviser he said 'I really shouldn't be telling you this but we got info down today saying 50% of starts 24th December'
    Hopefully this includes toys and hopefully he was telling the truth !!
    Good luck
    Busy mum of 3, so if my posts don't make sense or ask a silly question be patient:rotfl:
  • Yep, definitely a few days before Christmas last year. I bought the ELC Tower of Doom for £35 and stored it for my son's birthday (in September!). Also stocked up on lots of other things. Worth looking out for, though their website was incredibly slow once the sale was announced.

    Ha ha yes very funny. What this thread doesn't do is help people find current bargains. See the guidelines at the top of the forum.

    Funnily enough, people come to Grabbit looking for current bargains, rather than to answer peoples' general questions. And volunteer board guides end up doing the clean up.

    So when it starts, please do come here and give us some examples of the great bargains to be had. Until then, there is no grabbit.
